[Q] ICS and CWM rebooting hangs? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I had no problems installing ICS / CWM, but just out of force of habit, I went in and wiped cache, dalvik cache, and fixed permissions. Fixing permissions took a lot longer than normal - probably 2 minutes! Since I did everything at once I don't know what happened for sure, but now when I power down, the animated circle comes up for a few seconds and then freezes (at the shutting down prompt). I have to hold the power down for several seconds to get the phone to reboot.

This is a known issue. There are other threads about this. It's always a good idea to search before posting.

Splash Screen on loop

I rooted my phone (at a friend's house, I'm all Apple unfortunately) and all was well and good until I purchased Rom Manager and tried to download MIUI. Since then it goes through the MIUI United Worldwide splash screen infinitely. I went the rom manager route instead of manually installing in the hopes that i wouldn't fail. But here we are.
Pull the battery and hold power and volume down and boot into recovery from there and manually wipe everything and reinstall the ROM

Thank you for the speedy reply! as far as wiping everything, im in clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.6. , should i wipe everything through this? I'm coming from the jailbroken iphone world so I am a tad new at this. Mostly just following steps right now.
all has been solved, thanks again. (if anyone is curious, wiping cache and data fixed it.)

Rediculous boot times.

Does anyone else have horrible boot times? My phone takes anywhere between 3-5 minutes to turn on. I feel like that's abit outrageous. I'm running the latest kernal with 1.4 tweakstock.

Only the first time boot after you just flashed tweakstock, after that it should take about 30 sec. I suggest try to clear cache and davik cache see if it help, If not try re-Odin tweakstock rom again.
By latest kernel, are you talking about PBJ 0130? There were some versions of imoseyon that took a ridiculous long time to boot because it rebuilt dalvik every time, but otherwise, I've never had any issues. I just did a reboot to test, and I went from first appearance of the Samsung logo to the lock screen in 32 seconds...from Samsung logo to completely booted and finished media scanning in just under 70 seconds.

I had this issue before and I have tried clear cache/davik cache, then reflashed PBJ kernel, then imoseyon kernel, but didn't help, but once I odin tweakstock again it fixed the issue. After that I flashed back imoseyon kernel, then PBJ and no issue. So I guess something went wrong while I was flashing tweakstock over stock rom. I don't think the kernels have anything to do with the boot time. That's just my phone.
Just wiped cache and reflashed and times are right around a minute for a complete boot and media scan. Thanks guys!

My wife has 5 to 6 minute boot times on here completely stock phone. Mine has always booted in about a minute.

[Q] Stuck on background

I'm not sure how best to describe this which has made it difficult to search the forums for someone with a similar issue.
I was using CleanROM 5.1 on my rooted Verizon Samsung SIII for months. Just yesterday it decided to stop responding so I pulled the battery and turned it back on. The screen it showed me after booting was that of my background with the apps button in the middle and the clock and battery in the top right. My menu and back button were lite but I couldn't do anything.
I flashed the CleanROM 5.6 thinking something might have become corrupted but the same issue happens when I boot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
** Update **
I'm doing a factory reset as well. Hopefully that will do the trick. It actually it booting up and doing something now
For starters just try wiping cache, and dalvik. Are you doing clean flashes every time?

Both recoveries having issues wiping cache causing major issues

Nexus 5 here and tried both CWM and TWRP and each have the same issue. It just sits there and does nothing when doing a wipe cache. I have seen others having the same thing and the answers are it much be your device. Then if you power it off it loses the IMEI and anything network related and has to be reverted all the way back to stock. Very annoying really and more that this gets ignored and the threads closed.

It takes around 5min to wipe cache, dont interrupt it.

I've noticed that now, should be a sticky or something. I myself am not used to it taking more than a few seconds on any other device.
Anyone know why it takes so long to wipe cache on this? I'm like Grand and seeing it only take a few seconds.

Yup, this should be in the sticky guide. I am on android since the days of G1, and even I was stumped for a bit. Thankfully I did not loose anything. But yes, I did not boot into Android. I just rebooted into bootloader by long pressing power to reset and again wiped cache. This time I decided to wait it out, and there it was. Took much longer than usual to wipe cache with CWM.
Oh crap, I tried wiping the cache from the stock recovery and it just sat there forever, so I powered it down and rebooted it before reading this thread (I've done this on many Android devices and it never took this long...). I encountered problems with Google Play Services when it started back up so I decided to do a factory reset, but it didn't seem to start when doing it through the settings so I started it in recovery (format data/cache). And now it is just sitting here, as it has for the last 10 minutes... I'm starting to get worried. What should I do?
EDIT: right after I wrote this, the factory reset finished. Am rebooting now.
EDIT 2: booted up fine, with everything working. Wiping took an ungodly amount of time compared to previous versions of Android.
I had the same problem.
The wipe cache procedure (from stock recovery) took forever and I powered off my phone (big error).
Since then it has started behaving in a crazy way.
I re-entered the stock recovery mode and selected the factory reset option, but it didn't succeed signalling "can't access /cache partition".
Evrything followed by eternal bootloops.
I repeated the procedure many times and at last everything was OK (after many attempts, the factory reset procedure worked, even if it took SO long)
Remember: be patient. Or you will screw your phone.
Indeed, patience is the key

I started the cache wipe, thought the phone got hung up, and powered it off. Powered on and all network-related settings were missing, /sdcard partition was empty. Then I went searching and found this thread. Based on what I read, I decided to try the wipe cache again and this time I waited for it to finish. Rebooted the phone and all is back to normal.
For me it's takes on wiping cache only few seconds on CWM touch latest version recovery.
i was frightened when i found this thread, after my n5 seemed to be stuck flashing cache....but after a very long time (about 10 minutes, not sure) phone finished wiping....i was so relieved!!phewwwww

In future if you face the same issue kindly,don't powered it off, then it will take more time in factory settings. I tried without switching it off and its all done in flash of time. might be i was luckey:fingers-crossed:

This is the worst thing I have ever heard. I have had plenty of devices and for some reason the nexus line have the weirdest issues.
But I do love this devices. Well will wait and see if my stuff works again.
Waited like 4 minutes on second attempt and yes it came back. Wow!!!

Agreed! It took mine about 7-10 minutes (much longer than I expected) -- those who are waiting hours must have some other problem.

I ran into the same problem today - gave up after 20 minutes and rebooted the phone. Now /cache could not be mounted and thus no sdcard either.
Unzipped the latest factory image (KTU84P) and did a
Code:
fastboot flash cache cache.img
which was successful.
rebooted into recovery and now wipe cache took seconds.
So the cache partition can become corrupt, but this seems to fix it.
Luckily I had an unlocked bootloader - otherwise factory reset would have been the only option.
It can take up to half an hour (maybe more)

On my phone, it took nearly half an hour. Plug it in, and be very very very patient.
Ha! Well I'm glad I found this thread. Was stuck on it for 10 min and almost powered down. Waited another 5 min and it finished.
Soooooo looooooong
My /cache wiping took about 30 mintues. Luckyly, i found this post and wait until it ended.
I just experience the same thing, only then with my Note 3. I was waiting for about 15 minutes and I thought it was stuck at formatting the cache CWM. Luckily I found this thread and I waited before I rebooted. It finished in about 20 to 30 minutes.
I just had to thank you.

I just had to thank you for even making this thread. LOL. My HTC One M7 took so long when I was wiping cache. So i rebooted and went into all sorts of bootloops. Tried it again after reading this thread and after about 20-25 mins it finished. Thanks once again. :good::good::good::good:

Spontanious reboot

Twice within the last 24 hours my phone started rebooting. It would boot to the droid eyeball, freeze and reboot...on and on.
I eventually figured out that deleting delvic cache and cache partition got the phone to stop rebooting and function normally.
Phone is FP5 with tweaked 3.2
How do I prevent this from happening again?
